Excellent choice again. I love the variety of our guests so far; we really do have a wealth of knowledge on this site.

First, I think we should set a theme. This will give us the possibility the discuss more in depth about the subject.
|
Another wonderful idea! Narrowing down the topic/topics would allow us to again have the guest return at a later date to discuss another of his/her specialty areas of interest and it wouldn't seem that the same questions are being asked each time.
|
Also, I am not sure this way of doing is the best way. Maybe I should get the questions first and ask them myself, in a better order maybe, I don't know. Any ideas? What do you think?
|
If we all submitted our questions first, then you could compile them in an order. I also think that perhaps the guest should have these questions ahead of time too. Although it's fun to ask the questions and get an 'off the top of the presenter's head' answer, I sometimes think we are doing them a disservice. I'm sure if you asked both Don and Joe, they probably thought of additional comments they would like to make after but didn't have that opportunity unless another similar question was asked.
Giving the guest the opportunity to really think about how they would like to respond to a specific question, to me, is a curtesy I think we should extend them.
|
Also, I know we had major issues with booting and slow chat. I changed the software and it is now really stable. Some of the members tested it already and it is really promising.
|
Last evening was the best chat yet. I got to stay until I wanted to leave...
|
And on what theme would you like Connie to talk about?
|
The ACR...We've passed the infancy stages. What are Connie's thoughts on its success/useage? Members thoughts on changes/improvements. Thoughts on getting more corn folk involved and aware of its existence.
Just my thoughts, and once again Caroline, thanks again for allowing us the opportunity to input.
